I am not doing a comparison . I install linux for the same reason that I have installed Win98 (perhaps Win99 8) and Win Nt 5.0 to check out a couple of things mostly related to multimedia . As for getting along with linux developers I have in the past . As for slackware vs. debian vs. whatever is not that important to me. Tnks for the tips on slakware. Cheers, Amancio
